M3A1 Scout Car
It was not until after the M3A1 Scout Car, that was made from 1941 to 1944, had become outdated for its original reconnaissance mission in World War II, that it started on its rightful career. The almost 21,000 examples made served the US Army in European theatres of war as command, patrol, ambulance and transport vehicles in addition to their original scout function. In addition several countries allied to the USA such as France, Great Britain and the USSR used them. The armament consisted of two to three MGs that could be mounted at any point on the peripheral rails. In order to reduce surplus stocks after World War II the USA disposed of the M3A1 Scout Car to many other armies throughout the world.
